Abstract

Physicians of the XVI and XVII century investigate medical alteration using galileic-newtonean paradigm. When they considered objectivity the signs of mental alterations they were able to construct explicative theories. In order to hystery they adhered to the theory of "vapours" and "nervous malady". In the present publication we considered the point in order to construct the idea of "neurosis".
